Jake Gyllenhaal confirms Spider-Man role in Instagram video

Did you know we're getting the first trailer for Spider-Man: Far From Home this Saturday?

It's the sequel to 2017's Spider-Man: Homecoming, the first movie to properly let fly with Tom Holland's young and enthusiastic wall-crawler. (He made his big screen debut with a brief but significant appearance in Marvel Cinematic Universe movie Captain America: Civil War.)

Far From Home, like its predecessor, exists within a Sony franchise that is separate from the Disney-owned Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). We don't know much about the new movie's plot, aside from the fact it takes Spider-Man beyond the confines of New York on a worldwide adventure, encompassing cities like London.

It also stars Oscar nominee Jake Gyllenhaal and the actor has posted a hilarious video confirming what we've already known for some time: he's playing mysterious villain Mysterio, a master of deception who poses a serious threat to Holland's Spidey. Check out the video below.

Spider-Man: Far From Home is released in the UK on 5th July 2019, so stay tuned to the blog for a full breakdown of the trailer. Also keep your eyes peeled for our coverage of the first Avengers 4 trailer, widely rumoured to be landing this Friday.
